if the theory that there will be only one yellowjackets left alive by the end of the show turns out to be real i bet that misty will be the one last standing

since everybody is always overlooking here even when she makes the biggest effort to gain their attention, even though when she is one of the most competent of all of them, they still don't spare here a single thought (i mean they do only when someone has to do the dirty work for them but other than that they don't care about her)

so i think it'd be kinda poetic for misty to start out alone (even when with people she's the loneliest one) and to end up all alone, the only keeper of their secret left, all of her efforts for help ignored, not ever acknowledged

The reason why this body haven't posted anymore "non dualism journey" post is because the ego is having the same, but deeper understanding of the concept. So it would be the same thing written, but what's different than before is the new found feeling of love and acceptance. Something that this body can not describe in words because this ego doesn't know how to explain things well. This body saw a post about understating it intellectually and understanding it spiritually. If you find it, give it a read. Feel free to link it below, but know that this body can't reply to comments.

Something that helped this ego was meditation. Like this body have said before, she doesn't believe that it's a must, but it has helped her. This body believes it's optional. As long as you know that the body you are observing isn't you, but a vessel you use to experience the world you have created using it's eyes, ears and other senses and that you're true being is Self, then this body thinks you're on the right path.

If you wonder what "Self" is, then question who you are. Who others is.

When this body was younger, she asked why people love each other after years of being together. When the body changes and the personality too. When all that hasn't change is their awareness of being, period. Not the awareness of being something (e.g name, occupation, roles, etc). Just being. Now this body knows that the answer can come in different forms. There are many different reasons on why people stay together. But that is not the point of the story this body is trying to say. The point is, this is also a good way to see who you really are. Question who you are and realise the root of who you truly are.

You're not the thoughts. If the ego doesn't think for a second, that doesn't mean you disappeared. You are not your emotions either. Emotions changes. Body grows. If you occupied a new body, but same awareness, you're still you. "Me, so same personality, thoughts, habit, emotions, etc?" no. They can change. "Then what is 'you.' If I am not my mind (feelings, ideas, etc) or my body, then who am I?" Exactly, who are you? You're in a new body and someone else is occupying your old one. You're observing a new body. They're just using your old vessel. Something you used to own, something you used to experience your creation (the world). So if you can still continue being without the body you thought you were, who are you? If you can be in any body and still be, you're not the body.

Edit: also it feels so natural, recognising that you are not the ego, but Self. This body used to affirm to try make a new belief that she am Awareness. So she could feel powerful in the end. Didn't really work. But through understanding and practice (mindfulness) it just happens naturally.

thinking of starting another discord group but this one involving troubled industry babies. the pressures of fame and all its glory starting to take its toll. your singles are going platinum but to cope with the release party, you need a quick fix. the paparazzi following your every move finally made you reach your breaking point, the whole world saw you throw the first punch. rehab classified as retreats, talk show appearances sending your pr team into a frenzy, tmz knowing about your cheating scandal before you do. you’re wishing people realized there’s more to you beyond the lights.

Friendly reminder via RhiRhi that Catherine's Phoebe is the most hysterical thing that's ever happened (seriously, just go see her), and I'm so in love with her.

What is sociology? (Don't spare me the details, I'm interested, I want to know!)

It is the study of looking at society and people and our interactions and how we interact as well as the forces (the major social institutions - like gov't, media, education, family, economy, religion) that shape our world now and in the past and how we can, by studying things, change things for the better.  It really makes you look at everything in a new way and see the bigger picture and how to change the bigger picture and influence your own world.  Sociology is very unlimited.  You can look at work, gender, sexuality, language, interaction (gestures even), history of movements, illness, migration, immigration, masculinity, feminity, global changes, media influence, violence, crime, activism, music, education, family.  Pretty much everything.  You can compare different societies, different economic levels, different education, different religions.  You can look at a television show and examine the interactions of their fandom.  You can study youth crime or work on research about LGBTQ.  You can look at security or look at how family interactions at a young age influence success in later ages.  It really makes you realize how much of your life and world views are socially constructed and you begin to question the validity of some of those things.  Is it beneficial, can we change it? Can we help others to change?  That sort of thing.
